This has been true for as long as people have written software. We eliminate ops with clouds, assembly with compilers, code with libraries, software with SaaS and platforms.

What makes low-code/no-code different from everything else?




I consider it yet another tool in the abstraction stack that allows folks without software backgrounds to use their expertise to fill their operational needs.

Disclaimer: my intention with low/no-code tooling is likely broader and includes everything from WYSWIG form builders to Airtable automations, etc. The key to me is the usage of (1) syntax-free (2) domain-specific tooling to (3) configure software to meet (4) custom business needs (what a mouthful).


I don't think the GP means that low-code will eliminate programmer jobs, but that it will eliminate other office jobs.

Seems quite probable to me, as it's their entire goal.
